    Best repair stand for dh bikes?

    Look at the Sette model offered thru Pricepoint it's just a sturdy as a Park and 1/3 the price, I have one and have used it for my Haro 357, it's sturdy. I also have the Feedback Pro model and like that one also.

    I've been riding with the TLDs for about 2 months now, no crashes to test padding, they are comfortable although hot but tolerable. Temps in NY 90+. I also have the TLD LS pullover which is tons better than the plastic upper protection (661 and Rincon by TLD). Same dea,l hot but not as hot as...

    anyone used the new POC VPD 2.0 spine jacket?

    UPDATE: Rode with the above TLD 7855 and love it; not bulky, easy to wear a jersey over, Leatt friendly-in fact so comfortable I forgot I was wearing the Leatt (just removed the upper pads around the collar). I actually felt a breeze through this, defiantly not a hot a hard shell. I felt the...

    anyone used the new POC VPD 2.0 spine jacket?

    I recall someone saying the POC VPD is Not Leatt compatible, can anyone shed some light on that? The Troy Lee UPS 7855-HW Long Sleeve Shirt is Leatt compatible. Does the Troy Lee one take the place of their Rincon armour (Hard Suit)? Any thoughts on wearing this in place of a "hard suit"?

    Why no reporting on Shawn Orrechio and the demise of Diablo?

    It's a shame Diablo's demise happened but on a brighter note Mountain Creek may do what Diablo aimed to be all along a park for riders by riders, only time will tell. Season passes purchased from Diablo should be disputable with the CC company or if you have proof of the purchase I believe...

    Cassette Assembly Question

    I have a SRAM PG 070 11-26 cassette that I took off a old hub to use on a new hub. In removing it the gear rings became misaligned. My question is when putting them back on the new hub they should only go on one way? I have them in the right size order but I was wondering about the way they are...

    Rear Wheel Help

    I figured it out, I thought I had a 150mm hub, its a 135mm hence the difference. I didn't think not using the floating brake arm would require a new hub.

    Rear Wheel Help

    I Have a Haro .357 that I removed the floating brake arm because of noise and have the correct drop outs in place. I noticed now I have about 1/2" of play on the axle that the rear hub/cassette can slid about between the swing arm. The floating brake arm mount had a bearing assembly that took up...
